I started biting my nails when I was really young - maybe 3 or 4 - and didn't stop until I was in my twenties. It got so bad that I was tearing my nail beds, and that really hurts. I had tried all of the so-called remedies such as 'Nail Bitter', and fake nails were a waste of money.
I kicked the habit by taking care of them, almost obsessively. Go out and buy yourself some good nail polishes - pick fun colors to match different moods. Also get a clear strengthening coat, a file,a buffer, some cuticle cream, and a good pair of clippers. You can get all of this for about $20.
Every day, take a look at your nails, sit down and give yourself a manicure. Even if one nail is only slightly chipped or crooked file it into shape, clean off the polish and repaint it. I did my nails in a new color every day for 3 weeks. Every time I had the urge to bite them, seeing the color there reminded me to stop. In no time, my nails were stronger, long, and (finally) pretty. You may want to carry a pack of gum around with you also just in case you really need to chew something.
Now, I only give myself a manicure every 1-2 weeks, but my nails are still long and healthy.
You have to stop biting them that is probably the only way it is really no specific way just stop biting on them.
just think about all the dirt and germs under each nail that you are biting into. ewwwwww.
go and have fake nails put on. you probably wont want to bite them and if you do it wont hurt you because theyre fake, then just ween yourself off a biting.
coat your nails with chili powder
well if you just started you should stop but if you been doing if for a while it be hatd. To stop try doing an activity like reaing a book or waching t.v anything to get your mind off the nail bitting
Wash your hands with something sour like lemon juice. I've never tried this but it seems like a good idea.
have you heard of SWEDEN BITTER?? if you use some on your nails you might be detered from biting, but generally if you have had such a habit for a long time, it's a challenge to kick out. You're gona have to beat this with your mind.
Keep saying: I will not bite my nails. I will not bite my nails.I will not bite my nails.I will not bite my nails.I will not bite my nails.I will not bite my nails.I will not bite my nails.....
and make a conscious effort not to.
You are allowing all sorts of nasty bacteria to enter your mouth. Also, the constant nail biting, may cause small fractures in your teeth.
I'll admit I used to be a hardcore nail biter until it started becoming painful to bite down with my front teeth.
What really helped me, was taking the time to make my nails look nice. Try putting on a couple coats of nail polish to make your nails less appetizing. hehe.
i do that .....
my mom made my brother goto the doctor and they gave him sum nasty tasting shizit on his nails to make him stop
